The Coal Shed

Who doesn't get excited about seeing Tower Bridge open? I still do. Whilst Coal Shed can't guarantee this will happen during your meal, they do offer a discreet yet incredible view of the Tower of London and the bridge. If you're dining in the evening, there's a mesmerising illuminated fountain sculpture which allegedly is a clock too and changes colour as if by magic. Coal Shed is part of the new dining destination, One Tower Bridge. www.lifebyonetowerbridge.london

The food, mostly sophisticated BBQ treatments is exceptional. Monkfish 'scampi', tandoori sea bream served with a pile of moreish 'bhajee scraps', and, for young vegans, BBQ cauliflower with cashew cream and broad beans

And arctic roll for pudding! What kid at heart could resist ice-cream rolled in chocolate with cherry sauce?
